==Logging In==

You can use your CRM system in any up to date browser, such as Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Internet Explorer is no longer supported, so Charitylog won't work efficiently if you log in using it, and we may not be able to fix any issues you have if they are specific to Internet Explorer.  
  
 +
It's important that your browser is kept up to date as we only support the two latest versions. To check your browser is up to date, visit your browser settings.
  
===<span style="color:#00A2E8">'''Section 1'''</span>===
+
Please don't log into two systems (e.g. your live and training systems) on the same browser. This will cause the browser to get confused and you could end up navigating to your live system while you're in your training, without realising it.

If you work on different systems, please use two separate browsers.
  
This section displays your organisation's name and logo.  To update these detail see [[System Details| Organisation Details]].
+
You'll log into your system through the home page to begin with, but the most efficient way to log in on a regular basis will be via the single stage login. This avoids you having to log into two separate screens. If you are an administrator you can set this up easily for all your CRM users who want to use it - visit the section on [[Logging_In_/_System_Access#Single_stage_Login|single stage login]].

*Username - Click on your user name to change your settings and password.
 
*Branch (Requires [[Modules| Branch Module]]) - Displays the name of the current branch you are logged in to.  To change branch click on the current branch displayed and select the branch you wish to change to.
 
*Inactivity Timer - This clock counts down showing how long the current session has left before you are logged out.  The timer will reset when the page changes, normally by navigating to a new page or saving information on that page.  Please note that 'pop up' boxes and screens will '''not''' refresh the timer.  You can click on the timer to manually reset the clock.  If you use multiple tabs each tab will have it's own count down timer, it's important to make sure a tab does not time out.  Administrator can reduce the inactivity timer in [[Operational Rules]].

This section is the main navigation menu of the system and includes:
 
*Log out button - Clicking on the logout page will give you a prompt to log out.

Introduction to Charitylog

This short video will give you an overview of the system, ideal for first time users.

Logging In

You can use your CRM system in any up to date browser, such as Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari. Internet Explorer is no longer supported, so Charitylog won't work efficiently if you log in using it, and we may not be able to fix any issues you have if they are specific to Internet Explorer.

It's important that your browser is kept up to date as we only support the two latest versions. To check your browser is up to date, visit your browser settings.

Please don't log into two systems (e.g. your live and training systems) on the same browser. This will cause the browser to get confused and you could end up navigating to your live system while you're in your training, without realising it.

If you work on different systems, please use two separate browsers.

You'll log into your system through the home page to begin with, but the most efficient way to log in on a regular basis will be via the single stage login. This avoids you having to log into two separate screens. If you are an administrator you can set this up easily for all your CRM users who want to use it - visit the section on single stage login.

Screen Layout

The main menu contains all your day-to-day tasks, like the Action List, Calendar and lists of organisations and people:

"Main Menu tabs"

The user menu has links to your user settings, home page, dashboard and this manual:

Browser Add-ons

An add-on is a small program that has been downloaded and installed on to the browser. Some browsers may read and capture the data from the websites that you visit, this would include any online CRM system. These add-ons may seem to be innocent but even spelling and grammar checkers may upload your data and store it on their own systems. It is important that you trust your add-ons and have viewed the privacy policy of these third parties.

System Updates

Your system receives a major update three times a year. Your test system is updated before your live so you can preview new features.
